The Panini America NBA Product Development team has taken a page from the playbook of its NFL brethren and tweaked it — considerably. So while football collectors who crossover to basketball will notice many aesthetic similarities between 2012 Momentum Football and the upcoming 2012-13 Momentum Basketball,they’ll notice some huge differences when the hoops version releases in late April, too.
Most notably, they’ll notice the presence of five autograph cards in every 15-card pack — an ink-heavy configuration that should add a decided pop to a product that will carry a $200 pack SRP.

2012-13 Momentum Basketball features a 300-card base set (including 85 Rookie Cards) and three unique autograph inserts (Momentous Autographs, Momentous Rookies Autographs and Monumental Marks). The most substantial of those is the massive Monumental Marks that’s slated to include 300 cards.
Other preliminary highlights of the product include the uniquely die-cut Force insert and the etched-foil brilliance of the Drive parallel. We’ll have tons more to share on 2012-13 Momentum Basketball as the April 8 ship date approaches, so stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for updates. But for now, enjoy this preliminary sneak peek:

I seriously don't know how these LCSs stay in business with this little of profit. If this product is 20 packs instead of 1 pack, the LCS can sell $5 per pack to get full profit % while selling discounted price for a box. Now, with a pack sitting at $200, it is really hard to get creative on marketing/sale.

One thing IS for sure... they will sell out! People around the world will gobble it right up, especially new people to the hobby, and/or the sport, they'll buy ANYTHING, so why not lol.

The beauty of the hobby, there is something for everybody!!! We don't have to buy this if we don't like it... that simple. We will buy though, cards that catch our eye from Panini, so who cares really. They will sell this product, and any other product they put our.

Let's not put the product down, cause after all, some, or a lot of our fellow BO members will collect this stuff... If not anybody here, people round the world!!!

Shouldn't they just call this Panini Black? It's like the Panini Black FB version...

very nice post, no matter if for real or ironic, this is how it works.
there are millions of collectors all over the world who will love these cards, because they collect for fun and not for making money with them!
who cares about 100 hater on some forums who hate every single release because they don't see making $$ with them.

nfl edition of momentum is really nice, they look some kind like ultimate collection from the past ud products.
